  "textContent": "\n\n\nA planning row has erupted after a council approved a home redevelopment – despite neighbours raging against the proposals.\n\nRichmond Council has given the go-ahead to a massive extension to a property in the affluent west London district of Twickenham.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe application, which has already been approved along 8 Ellesmere Road, will involve a part single-storey and two-storey side and rear extension.\n\nBut the construction work will not stop there. The new plans will also include pitched roofs and rooflights, as well as the removal of a chimney.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe tight-knit community was furious at the shocking extent of the plans and flagged concerns over the future impact on residents.\n\nResident Christopher Martin fought against the council plans, but to no avail.\n\nBryan Staff, acting as consultant for the applicant, and homeowner Mikaela Hedin managed to convince the council to pass the plans.\n\nHouses in the area cost an overall average of £1million, experts at Rightmove said.\n\nDespite the residents banding together to resist the plan, the council's report said: \"The proposed development is of generous proportions; however, owing to the site's individual context, it would respect the character and form of the existing house, Ellesmere Road and the Ravensbourne Road and East Twickenham Character Areas.\"\n\n_**MORE TO FOLLOW...**\n_\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### LATEST NEIGHBOUR ROWS:\n\n\n\n\n  * Neighbour from hell 'attacked' disabled man with hammer while walking to the shops\n  * Airbnb owner loses planning row after neighbours accuse guests of ‘debauchery’\n  * 'Appalling!'
